[antonin....@uclouvain.be]

Hi,

Good news everyone !

OpenJPEG 2.4.0 is released:
https://github.com/uclouvain/openjpeg/releases/tag/v2.4.0

This release brings several improvements on the encoder side:
- support for multithreading
- support for generation of PLT markers
- single-threaded performance improvements in forward DWT for 5-3 and 9-7 (and
other improvements)
- support IMF profiles

as well as various bugfixes, as detailed in the Changelog hereunder.

The performance improvements and the generation of PLT markers have been
implemented thanks to funding from the European Space Agency (ESA), for
operations of the Mission Performance Centre (MPC) for the Copernicus
Sentinel-2 mission.

Enjoy!

Antonin
